Why Would Jesse Cheat On Sandra? An Expert Weighs In!

Do you think Jesse cheated because he felt emasculated or jealous of Sandra’s major success?

Talk about being blind-sided. Mere weeks after winning the Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Blind Side, a self-professed model named Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee confessed to In Touch weekly that she had a five-month affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband Jesse James – and while Sandra was shooting her award-worthy flick, no less! Now, an expert explains to HollywoodLife.com why Jesse would do such a horrible thing to the woman he promised to love for the rest of his life.

“He may have felt emasculated about her being this super-famous, award-winning actress. It was his unconscious way of hurting her because he’s jealous of her,” Dr. Rhonda Findling, psychotherapist and author of Don’t Call That Guy, A Survival Guide To Letting Go, told HollywoodLife.com March 17.

Since getting married on July 16, 2005, Sandra, 45, has unabashedly supported 40-year-old Jesse in all of his business endeavors (including his famous bike shop West Coast Choppers) and has acted as surrogate mom to his three children. In fact, Sandra is even leading the fight for Jesse to obtain custody of his six-year-old daughter, Sunny. Unfortunately, Jesse did not reciprocate Sandra’s support.

“Some people have feelings of envy and aggression and it can be more powerful than love,” Dr. Findling explained, adding, “Just because you’re attracted to a person, that doesn’t mean you have to act it out. If it’s not working, then get a divorce.”

What do you think it was distance or jealousy that caused problems for Sandra and Jesse?
